What’s your idea of a dream job? Most people would love to do their favourite hobby or sport as a job. That’s exactly what Mike Peters does. He combines his passion for skydiving with his work. Mike is a skydiving aerial photographer. He earns a good wage and does his favourite sport at the same time. Mike jumps from planes with a camera he attaches to his helmet and takes some amazing photographs. He places the camera on his head so he can use his hands to control his fall.
